First time at Mostra, and it's clear they know their coffee…read more I ordered a traditional macchiato, and it was perfect. Sounds simple, but most coffee shops miss the mark when it comes to getting a macchiato right. I also tried their fresh brew along with a savory Filipino cheese and ube pastry, and both were spot on. Great coffee, very nice people, and a welcoming vibe. Sometimes that's all you need. Mostra definitely gets it right.

Always out of many drinks for what seems like weeks on end. Definitely needs to either revamp the…read moremenu for new supply of ingredients they have or learn better logistics management to keep supply up. It's a solved problem, In-n-Out can serve more burgers than sense and never freeze anything and they've done it since before all our easy to access analytics that can review business operations models. For a place with multiple locations and a great brand it's sad to see it fall on its face so easily when it comes to this. Service and people are great still, but if my options when I visit are basic flavors I can go somewhere else.

The matcha was delicious with a generous pumpkin spice topping that you could taste in every sip! However, their toast was incredible and would come back just for this! The vegan ricotta was so creamy and the tomatoes were perfectly sweet! Wowww!! Service: The cashier taking my order was so kind and told me about her recommendations and thanks to her, I discovered this incredible toast! Ambiance: This cafe is lively with some tables inside to study/work and a clean bathroom! There is free, strong wifi posted on the side of the glass showcase. Even after the cafe closes, this WIFI is reliable if you sit outside and work! Lastly, liked that they were open till 6 PM which felt like generous hours to study/work! Please come here for a wonderful catch up with a friend or to study/work! Please try their incredible drinks and food! Really hope they open a Compa Coffee Roasters in OC as well!

The line was pretty long, and the wait for our food was even longer, so definitely be prepared to wait if you're coming during a busy time. That said, the atmosphere was great and the overall experience was still enjoyable. I'd definitely come back and give them another try -- hopefully with cold foam next time!

This place did not give the caffeine fix…read more I ordered the iced ceremonial matcha latte, sweetened with brown sugar. I saw them whisk it in the bowl, but it just tasted like I paid $6.50 for regular milk. Unfortunately I knew before I even tried it was not going to be good, due to the color of the drink. It was barely green. I like a strong match with that richer green color. My partner ordered the Honey Cinnamon latte. This one wasn't bad, but it was also weak in coffee flavor. It was basically a honey-cinnamon milk, with a splash of coffee. Overall, the flavors/sweetness arent bad, but that's not what we came for. Also, a bit nit-picky of an observation... the lids were not comfortable to drink from. It was just an awkward angle. Disappointing experience, I'm so sad to say I would not recommend this to friends or anyone looking for coffee in the area, as I would love to support the smaller businesses in the Carmel Mountain area.

Today was one of those chaotic mom moments when the kids were going crazy, and just as I was about to head in to pick up our order, the baby fell asleep in the car. I called to see if someone might be able to bring the order right outside to my car parked in front of the shop, and Emily was SO kind and accommodating. She was incredibly understanding, positive, and happy to help. I completely understand that this isn't a standard service you offer, which made her kindness mean that much more. As a mom, those little acts of understanding can make such a difference in your day! Just wanted to give Emily a shoutout and share my appreciation. You guys have always been wonderful, and it's moments like these that make me love supporting your business even more. Thank you, Emily, Shirley & Kenny!

Their Chula Vista location says permanently closed. And this location says temporarily closed. I doubt it's temporary. My husband and I are saddened, because they truly have the best coffee in town besides the Kona Mountain Coffee in Hawaii. Now, if my speculation is incorrect I will update my review. I'm glad we found this place a few months ago and we enjoyed their coffee and service. Mahalo!

It's also a great place to sit down and get some work done, whether you're meeting with someone or bringing your laptop for a few hours. The drinks are always consistent, well-made, and reasonably priced compared to other coffee shops in the area. My go-to is The Best Drink Ever, and despite the bold name, it genuinely lives up to the hype. It's smooth and somehow manages to be both simple and incredibly satisfying. I end up ordering it almost every time I visit any Better Buzz location. So if you're in the area and need a consistent and convenient caffeine fix, this is a great choice.

Since I was online, I figured I'd avoid temptation at the bakery and also ordered a banana bread, garlic sourdough loaf, pate and oatmeal raisin cookie. Website and Yelp aren't currently showing the correct hours because they're still working back into having dinners. Both sites showed closed at 2, so gave them a call. Yes, they're open. Nice quiet parking lot with lots of parking. Customer service was very friendly and my bags were ready to go. The beef was nice and hot along with the pasta. On my long drive home (to Valley Center), couldn't resist and tried the oatmeal cookie first. It was delicious - probably best cookie i've had ever. Flavorful, nice and moist. The garlic sourdough loaf was made with roasted garlic. Some of the best bread I've ever tasted. That with the chicken liver, pork & pistachio pate (when I got home) was truly delicious. On to the main course. The pasta was nice and al dente. Roasted vegs were yummy and the garlic sauce was delicious. The beef was nice and tender and well seasoned. Generous portions of both - enough for leftovers. Definitely keeping an eye on this place - It's a splurge every now and then, but life is short. Sorry for no photos, hunger took over. :)
